MEXICO CITY — President Obama said immigration reform will be part of his administration’s efforts to tackle issues plaguing the U.S.-Mexico border.

“Immigration reform has to be part of a broader strategy to deal with our border issues,” Obama said in an interview with CNN en Español.

“I've already met with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and committed to working with them to try to shape an agenda that can move through Congress.”

Obama’s remarks come in advance of his arrival in Mexico City today, where a number of pro-immigration protests are planned as he meets with President Felipe Calderon. Obama praised Calderon for his “outstanding and heroic job” handling violence along the border.

But he dodged the question of how he will deal with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez at the Summit of the Americas.

“He’ll be one of many people that I will have the opportunity to meet,” Obama said. “We want to listen and learn, as well as talk. And that approach, I think, of mutual respect and finding common interests is one that ultimately will serve everybody.”

As for those leaders who plan to make Cuba an issue at the summit in Trinidad and Tobago, “I have no problem with them bringing up Cuba as an issue,” Obama said, noting his policy change this week that lifted restrictions on Americans’ travel and money sent back to relatives in Cuba.

“But Cuba has to take some steps,” Obama added, such as releasing political prisoners, allowing Cubans to travel and “speak their minds” more freely.

“And if there's some sense of movement on those fronts in Cuba, then I think that we can see a further thawing of relations and further changes.”

To all of you Blue Collar Workers. Guess what? Obama and the Unions are selling you out. You think you have a hard time finding a job now? Wait until 7 million blue collar jobs are permanently filled by the newly "legal" illegal aliens. Did I say Unions? Yup, the Unions want more dues and are falling over themselves now to get illegal aliens legal. Hmmmmm, the democrats snookered you again.

He needs to rubber stamp amnesty for 30M of Mexico's best and brightest ...before the midterm elections next year! But before they get their Z-visas and bring their entire families over to suck off the US taxpayers...they have to fill out a voter registration form stating that they will vote DEM for the rest of their life!

Do you not realize that your state is getting 50 billion dollars in Stimulus money? This is supposed to help you in some way?

Sadly, Obama is not listening to the right people. Instead, he is trying to expand his Hispanic support base. This is sad because, in the pursuit of more political support, Obama is losing sight of what is important: The safety, security, and well-being of American citizens. We elected him to serve us, not to serve people who happen to live within our borders illegally.

I am not sure where this is headed, but a confrontation between American citizens and undocumented aliens is inevitable. Securing our borders is critical. I am disappointed that Obama is trying to please the very people who created this mess to begin with.

The first thing that needs to change is the law. Mexican women come across the border and get pregnant. If a child is born here in our country, that gives the child automatic citizenship. That law needs to change so that the incentive to get pregnant here is removed. The next thing that needs to change is California!!! Apparently, much of the state's health care costs are the result of providing services for people who are NOT American citizens. What are they thinking???

Many Americans worked hard to become citizens. Again, it is a privilege to live here, NOT A RIGHT!!! This message needs to be reinforced through the American judicial system. When the speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi, calls our border agents' activities "Shameful", is it any wonder the country has this problem? The other problem we seem to be perpetuating is the bi-lingual emphasis, as witnessed in schools and in our advertising.

In my opinion, English is America's official language. If anyone wants to live here, they need to become American and speak our language.

“Immigration reform has to be part of a broader strategy to deal with our border issues,” Obama said in an interview with CNN en Español.

It's refreshing to see that our solutions-oriented President intends to actually address the challenges of immigration reform facing our nation, rather than simply pay lip service to the issue, as his predecessor did. No wonder he continues to enjoy high job approval ratings from the general public.

WHY THE HELL IS HE MEETING THE THE HISPANIC CAUCUS? THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING TO STOP POTENTIAL VOTERS FROM JUMPING ACROSS THE BORDER. THE HISPANCI CAUCUS IS SUPPOSE TO REPRESENT CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES NOT ILLEGAL MEXICANS. THIS IS ********!!! BUT HELL BUSH WASN'T ANY BETTER ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION EITHER! WHAT ARE THEY AFRAID OF!!!!

HIS PLAN APPEARS TO CRIMINALIZE EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN WHO SUPPORTS COMPREHENSIVE BORDER ENFORCEMENT. JANET NAPOLITANO HAS BEEN FORCED TO BACK OFF OF HER LISTING MILITARY AS WANNA BEE TERRORISTS...BUT SHE STILL HAS CHRISTIANS...THOSE WHO OPPOSE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION...LIBERTARIANS....STATES RIGHTS FOLKS..... AND IT IS NOT A JOKE. THE LAST PERSON LIKE NAPOLITANO WAS HER CLOSE FRIEND....JANET RENO. I AM OLD. THE THING ABOUT BEING OLD IS YOU REMEMBER.

JANET RENO WOULD not...would not..WOULD NOT. LET FBI AGENTS TALK TO DAVID KOREISH..THE END TIME BAD GUY WHO RAN THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CULT.....HE CAME TO THE DOOR TO TALK...TO GET INNOCENTS OUT HOPEFULLY.. AND THE E DOJ AGENTS....SHOT HIM. THEN THEY SHOT THREE PYROTECHNIC WEAPONS INTO THE COMPOUND..NO WINDOWS. IT WENT UP LIKE A TORCH. 79 PEOPLE BURNED ALIVE IN THERE. 20 BABIES AND CHILDREN. 24 BRITISH CITIZENS. 2 PREGNANT WOMEN. FOR THEM TO PUT OUT A LIST TO EVERY POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE USA....AND TO PUT PEOPLE WHO OPPOSE BREAKING USA LAWS ON THAT LIST...THESE ARE DANGEROUS PEOPLE....LOOK AT WACCO.( WIKIPEDIA

AND NAPOLITANO CITES TIM MCVIEGH AS THEIR REASON TO SMEAR THE MILITARY...MCVEIGH WAS MILITARIZED BY WACCO....HE WAS A SURVIVALIST..OR SO SAYS WIKIPEDIA..YOU CAN READ IT. WIKIPEDIA SAYS HE VISITED WACCO MONTHS BEFORE THE BOMBING AT THE FEDERAL BUILDING IN OKLAHOMA. WACCO BURNED ..WITH 79 HUMANS INSIDE..;.AND THE FIRE WAS ORDERED BY JANET RENO ..OF THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION...ON APRIL 19,1993. MCVIEGH BOMBED OKLAHOMA CITY ON APRIL 19, 1995. WIKIPEDIA.

NAPOLITANO AND OBAMA SHOULD KNOW....TERRORISTS ARE DEFINED BY THEIR ACTIONS...NOT THEIR POLITCAL PHILSOSOPY. . I BELIEVE THE BEHEADINGS THE DRUG CARTELS ARE DOING....AND THE FBI SAYS THEY ARE IN 280 AMERICAN CITIES...I THINK THAT WOULD BE TERRORISTS ACTIONS...BUT THEY ARE NOT ON ANY "EXTREMISTS" LIST OF THIS ADMINISTRATION. AND THERE GO TO GROUP FOR NAMING HATE GROUPS...THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER...THEY HAVE THE AMERICAN LEGION ON A HATE LIST...FOR WANTING ENFORCEMENT OF OUR SOUTHERN BORDER.

TODAY...DRUDGE IS REPORTING THAT THE OBAMA WHITE HOUSE MADE GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY TAKE DOWN ANY REFERENCE TO CHRISTIANITY BEFORE HE SPOKE THERE........CHRISTIANS ARE ON THAT LIST TOO THE ARTICLE IS AT BRETTBARTE.COM.

THE TEA PARTIES ....THESE ARE ALL SMALL CITIES....OBAMA MIGHT WANT TO WORK ON SOME COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT FROM AMERICAN CITIZENS FOR A SPELL.>>>>>>>>>>>>

.".I’ll keep updating…11:20pm…just added tons more crowd pix and vid…trying to keep ‘em all in one post to give you the full breadth and scope of the protests — not just the , but the reach, a true sense of which is missing from the MSM coverage. More coming…):MICHELLE MALKIN.COM

What happened to the campaign promise that he would SECURE the borders before immigration reform could be addressed?

Has kept a single promise? The man is a chain liar.

The Dems know that the damage that they will do, and the anger they will raise, with Socializing the US would hurt them in elections.

Amnesty has always been their safety net. They will make 20-30 million illegals citizens (with federally funded ACORN to help them choose a party) so that they wont need your vote. They will turn Texas, Az, CO, NV and FLA permanently blue and you will have no say.

They will be citizens in time for the 2012 elections. Unless there is a real revolution, it is already too late. This country will be gone for good.
